Sheet Metal Technology
Air Bending Process

Air bending is performed using a press brake where a punch presses sheet metal into a V-shaped die. The metal is not fully forced into the die, allowing the bend angle to be controlled by adjusting the punch depth.

This method provides excellent flexibility since the same die can create multiple bend angles and radii. However, because the sheet is not fully pressed into the die, springback may occur. Modern machines use laser measuring systems to ensure high precision.

Advantages
  • Multiple bend angles without tooling change
  • Faster than bottom bending
  • Requires less pressure
  • Reduced surface damage
Disadvantages
  • Springback can affect accuracy
  • Not ideal for tight tolerances
  • Older machines reduce precision
Sheet Metal Technology
Bottom Bending

Bottom bending also uses a punch and a V-shaped die, just like air bending. The key difference is that the punch pushes the sheet metal fully into the die instead of partially bending it.

Because the metal is pressed completely into the die, this method requires more force and brings the sheet into full contact with both the punch and die, delivering tighter control over the final bend angle.

The biggest advantage of bottom bending is improved accuracy with significantly less springback. However, it requires changing dies for different angles, and the higher pressure can increase machine wear and maintenance.

Advantages
  • More accurate than air bending
  • Minimal springback
  • Works well with older presses
Disadvantages
  • Different tooling for each angle
  • Higher tooling & setup costs
  • Requires greater press force
  • Can leave tooling marks
  • Slower production speed
